Arishem the Judge imdiately began probing the Eternals' mories.
Within his massive crimson palm, the ten individuals let out agonizing cries, as if their thoughts were being forcibly extracted. Veins bulged across their faces, their bodies tensed in unbearable pain, yet the rings binding them held them firmly in place.
Fortunately, Arishem quickly finished scanning their minds.
"A dog… Tiamut is missing because of so creature on this planet? Could it be another Agatha?" he muttered.
In another Multiverse, an Earthling nad Agatha had repeatedly absorbed Tiamut and Arishem's m-bodies. Other Celestials sent to confront her had mostly vanished, becoming her nourishnt. That Agatha had now grown beyond the Universe's structure, becoming a major hidden threat.
If a similar entity erged in this Universe, Arishem knew he would need to eliminate it imdiately.
"Your mission is complete. I will take you away to your next assignnt," Arishem said, lowering his palm. The ten Eternals, still bound by rings, floated away.
Ajak, the Eternal captain, hesitated. "Judge, may I ask what else you intend to do?"
"The humans of this planet have violated the laws of universal developnt. Judgnt will be delivered here."
A brilliant red orb of energy materialized in Arishem's palm. The sheer size of his hand, comparable to a continental plate, implied the power to obliterate Earth effortlessly.
"Stop! Arishem, the Celestial you seek is safe; he is currently undergoing God manifestation!"
At that critical mont, Malrick appeared before Arishem's palm. He had accelerated ti to expedite Tiamut's God manifestation, but the process still hadn't completed before Arishem acted.
To protect the surroundings, Malrick first absorbed Earth and Moon into his inner World, then moved faster than light to intercept Arishem's attack.
"So it was you attempting to absorb a Celestial's power!" Arishem sneered, the energy orb in his hand intensifying.
Malrick's expression shifted as he acted at the speed of thought, ntally capturing all stars and planets in the Solar System, drawing them into his inner World.
A supernova-like explosion erupted, sweeping away all cosmic matter within the Solar System. The energies spread outward, reducing all cosmic dium to dust, then retracted as though ti itself were reversed.
At the center, a black hole ford, absorbing all matter and fire. Arishem's casual strike had annihilated the Solar System, yet the concentrated energy of the explosion created a stable black hole.
Arishem hovered silently, the Eternals behind him awestruck. "Even like this… you survived. You truly swallowed Tiamut!"
At the black hole's center, Malrick erged, clad in a tattered Dormammu Armor. Stabilizing himself using the law of space, he radiated energy from the Space, Ti, and Reality Stones. The black hole dissipated, asteroids reshaped, and matter flowed backward.
"Infinity Stones…" Arishem murmured, his tone asured. As a top-tier Celestial even in m-body form, he could annihilate universes effortlessly. Three Infinity Stones should be insignificant to him, yet Malrick had survived.
Arishem condensed even more universal energy, launching continuous attacks. Unlike his past encounters, such as against Agatha, he relied on raw cosmic power rather than close combat.
Malrick wiped blood from his mouth; even his Dormammu Armor was half-destroyed. Arishem's strikes, capable of destroying galaxies, made dodging nearly impossible. Even with Infinity Stones, Malrick could only expand the battlefield from the Solar System to the Milky Way.
"Tiamut, your birth process is indeed prolonged," Malrick muttered with a grin, his gaze burning. Once stronger, he resolved to spar with Arishem again.
"Arishem the Judge! Look closely! Who are you truly attacking?"
Using the One Mind, One Body ability, the Rege Duo Clone dissolved into light within Malrick's inner World. In his main body, a cosmic courage staff appeared in his left hand and a Miracle Wing Transformation Device in his right. Both devices glowed as he channeled his power, transforming into Lejendo Ultraman.
Lejendo, towering ninety thousand kiloters, was even taller than Arishem.
Arishem paused, scrutinizing the imnse figure. "You are a conceptual entity!? This…" His voice rose in disbelief as he slowly lowered his raised arm.
Celestials had been created by the first iteration of Marvel's Universe—the First Firmant. With iterative universes cycling through destruction and rebirth, the current, seventh-generation Universe had Eternity as its embodint. Eternity had also created his own Celestials, so of whom were bound to obey him.
Malrick, as a conceptual entity chosen by Eternity, now stood on equal footing with Arishem. While Arishem's voice might command strength, he could not challenge soone aligned with Eternity.
Recognizing Malrick's authority, Arishem's deanor shifted. "Esteed Sir… that was a misunderstanding," he said, his tone humbling.
